1. Can you source pure indica or sativa seeds. If it is against policy to be specific
I understand I just wanna know if it is a wild goose chase.


2. Best book for breeding.
I have the book "Marijuana Botany" but it is pretty hard for my pea brain.
I`m sure it will be great if I get something more geared for dummies.

Anyway I have a strain I would like to seed and would also like to start trying to make something. But I need find a good book to absorb basics before I start.

thanks
 
2.

best way to learn is to start doing it! I just successfully pollinated a bunch of buds on various strain with a male spacebomb ... I have collected most seeds recently and I have plenty for the years to come, like 30-50 seeds per cross and I used so little pollen you wouldnt believe.

Just grow a male from a strain you like! Then as you grow the offspring just find a keeper and clone it. If you seriously want to get into breeding I cannot help you. Start with good genetic from reputable seed bank and you won`t have to grow a bunch of male, only one should do to get you going.

I hope this helps in any way.
 
The first project I want to start is taking my afwreck to seed.

I still do not know if the afghan has to be the father and the train wreck the mother.
Or is it as simple as finding a male of either and pollinating. All the f1 h2 type talk. has me a bit intimidated.

I like the idea of jumping in though as that usually drives me to keep going.

That is part of the reason I`m looking for an afghan seed so I can start by growing that out.

I guess a simple question I have is do the genetics of the male matter or is it just a sperm doner?
 
Just found Afgani#1 on sea of seeds through this site so I trust that.
I wonder why I couldn't find it last time I looked?
Oh well gonna do a bit more digging to make sure that is what i`m after.
 
Found the overgrow faq sticky. lots of good info.
I guess if it were easy everyone wouldf be doing it. lol
